Work Unit Seniority Sample Clauses

The Work Unit Seniority clause establishes how seniority is determined and recognized within a specific work unit or department. Typically, it outlines that an employee's length of service within the unit, rather than the entire organization, is used to rank employees for purposes such as shift assignments, promotions, or layoffs. For example, if two employees transfer into a new department, their seniority in that department may start from the date of transfer, regardless of their overall company tenure. This clause ensures fair and consistent treatment of employees within each work unit, helping to resolve disputes and clarify expectations regarding advancement and job security.
Work Unit Seniority a. Work unit seniority shall be established as follows: The employee having the longest continuous term of service in a work unit with the District shall be number one on the seniority list, with all other employees in that work unit listed in descending order of time with the District in that work unit. Such list shall be posted. An employee, who leaves and subsequently returns, shall start accumulating work unit seniority over unless returned during the probation period for promotions. b. Work unit seniority shall not affect the employee's overall service with the District for the purposes of accruing leave or longevity benefits.
